Box Canyon Blog .com - When You Find Homer Simpson, You're Getting Warmer...




From the site: Box Canyon Blog .com - When You Find Homer Simpson, You're Getting Warmer...

It might have been on the first visit to Joshua, or maybe it was the second (there is a difference of opinions  in our Lazy Daze rolling homestead). But, "when" is of little consequence to this story. You see, this is what happens to old married couples—mature relationships, then, if it makes you feel better. The cadence, buildup, and point of a good story goes down the drain when an interjection/argument breaks out over what, where, when or who the person was that told you something that relates to the story… ah, what was her name? started with a "B," Betty? Bonnie? Before you know it the audience is implementing emergency exit strategies… fake phone calls, pulling fire alarms, jumping ...Read more...

OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - Sites unseen.....




From the site: OUR NEWELL ADVENTURE - Sites unseen.....

For me it is sometimes too easy to feel compelled to go site seeing whenever we find ourselves in a location known for gorgeous scenery.  I find myself checking out all the sites online to see in a given area, such as where we are situated right now.  Then I begin to ask myself, "self, why don't you just enjoy being where you are right now?".  That, of course, is the dichotomy we face on a daily basis when we are in places like this. We make a point of finding places that have the "it" factor when we are are 'boondocking'.  The "it" factor being loosely defined as a place with a good view, and interesting surroundings.  It's like pornography....hard to define, but I know it when I see it.  So, if we have s ...Read more...

The great Palm Springs weather continues.  High 80's temperatures and cool desert nights make for good winter living conditions.  With that comes a multitude of interesting activities.Other than daily walks around our RV park, Jeanette has been attending Zumba classes on Mondays and Wednesdays.  When not walking with her, I've joined others for a round of golf and one most recent long, long motorcycle guy ride.Golfing with Hector, his sister Roz and Brother in Law, StanWe were invited to Stan and Roz's resort community for a round of golf and an evening dinner.  We played 18 holes on their lovely golf course.  And I shot one of my better golf rounds; an 82.  Fast greens and lush fairwaysHector and Diane contrib ...Read more...

Metamorphosis Road - The San Antonio River Walk




From the site: Metamorphosis Road - The San Antonio River Walk

We've settled in to Travelers World RV Resort in San Antonio, TX for a week. We've got a spacious pull through site and the added benefit of a fellow blogger who lives here at the park: Travel Bug Susan. I've enjoyed reading Susan's stories of things to do around San Antonio for years so it's great to be able to spend some time with her in her "backyard".One of the key activities here for both tourists and locals is to get out and explore the San Antonio River Walk. This 15 mile long path system has a lot to offer including a vibrant downtown scene with many shopping, eating and drinking opportunities, access to museums and art, gardens and the zoo, quiet sections of river walking for birding and exercise, plus access to several historical ...Read more...

We wanted to get a fairly early start yesterday morning, but we had invited John and Jane for breakfast. Ruth makes the best gluten free pancakes! Too bad we didn't have any maple syrup left. But we did have honey, strawberry jam from Mexico, and a tart cherry jam that we had just bought the other day.They came over at the prearranged time of 8:30am, and we one last get together.Click here to read more... ...Read more...

RVing: The USA is our BIG Backyard - Laundry Day and checking out Elephant Butte State Park




From the site: RVing: The USA is our BIG Backyard - Laundry Day and checking out Elephant Butte State Park

I HATE LAUNDROMATS!   Since we are all hooked up in a campsite with water access, I figured it was time to get some laundry done.  Our motorhome has a Splendide brand washer/dryer unit that takes about 6 gal of water to wash and 5 to rinse.  So at 11 gallons a load, times four loads, it would use up about half of our freshwater tank if we were boondocking.  It is a washer and dryer all in one unit.  When the clothes are finished washing, you can set it automatically start in the drying cycle and it starts spinning with heat blowing inside.  Yes, the washing and drying all happens in the same drum. Kinda cool!It makes sense to get it done here while we have a water faucet at our campsite.  Who knows where w ...Read more...

From the site: blog.goodsam.com - 3 Not So Well Know California Camping Destinations

If you have not traveled the lesser-known US Hwy-395 on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada Mountain range in California, you should put it on your bucket list. There are several destinations well worth your time to seek out, some of these known only to the locals.  Traveling south along this route, first we lingered overnight in Coleman, California at the Coleville/Walker KOA aptly named for a cliff that rises dramatically at the rear of the campground. High atop the cliff an American flag flies, replaced each year on the 4th of July by the owner of the campground who spends an entire day scaling the cliff to continue a tradition started in 1876! Mono Lake Further down the highway is Mono Vista RV Park overlooking Mono Lake-a large, ...Read more...

Wheeling It - Rugged And Remote – KOFA National Wildlife Refuge, AZ




From the site: Wheeling It - Rugged And Remote â€" KOFA National Wildlife Refuge, AZ

The beast is the only thing shiny out here A rather dark and moody sunset Sometimes you just need to get away from it all, and when you talk about the Arizona Desert there are literally millions of acres in which to do this. In a mere 665,400 acre corner of this vast cacti empire is a little-visited spot called the KOFA National Wildlife Refuge. This rather inconspicuous and frankly easily miss-able area (despite its enormous size), occupies a large part of the map along the Eastern side of Hwy 95 between Yuma and Quartzsite, AZ. The most noticeable part of the refuge are its rather rugged mountains, almost needlepoint sharp protrusions with a gorgeous red/orange cast that I’ve not seen anywhere else except the Sup ...Read more...
